Puzzle
Busters
Ages 13-16
If you like solving puzzles, then this expedition is for
you! Spend a seek cracking codes and puzzles as you find
your way along your quest. Just be sure to
bring your sense of adventure and love of reward! Most
evenings you will return to Alton Jones for dinner, games, use
of the bathhouse facilities, and to sleep at the Poor Farm
Base Camp.
Sunday afternoon is spent checking in, settling in to your
screen house, getting to know your fellow group members and
leaders, and taking a swim test at the lake. After
eating a hot meal at the Poor Farm picnic area there will be
an all-group orientation to the programs and some group
time. An all-expeditions game is followed by a campfire
by the barn and bed time.
Most evenings you will return to Alton Jones for dinner,
games, use of the bathhouse facilities, and to sleep at the
Poor Farm Base Camp. You will stay in a screen house
cabin with bunk beds and a bathhouse nearby with showers and
flush toilets. One night may be spent camping off
site. Some meals will be eaten at the camp dining hall
and some will be prepared by your group.
In preparing for your week, you may want to spend some
time thinking about why you chose Puzzle Busters and what you
hope to learn from this experience. Everyone is expected to
do their best, participate fully, encourage each other, and
help out with chores on a rotating basis such as cooking and
cleaning up. If you have never done some of the
activities described, relax. Experience is not a requirement,
but a positive attitude and a willingness to have fun while
learning is!
Of course we can't tell you everything that will happen during
your week, but here are some hints. Maybe a clue will lead you to the Rhode Island
coast for a sea kayaking adventure. Or maybe you will
end up dangling over a cliff to read your next clue while your
group cheers you on. Whatever the mystery and wherever
the adventure leads, you will find yourself having a grand
time! So get ready for a week of rock climbing,
rappelling, kayaking, swimming, games, and much more.
